Aromatherapy for Vertigo
A Lovely Monday Morning to you all!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING

Do you know………A sudden sensation of spinning (either of oneself or of external objects, surroundings) is one of the major signs of vertigo. I could personally vouch for this and certainly it is not a pleasant experience. Causes of vertigo:

                         Essential Oils

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): This is the most common cause of vertigo. Symptoms of BPPV are triggered by rapid change in head movement such as; tipping head up or down, or by lying down, or turning over, or sitting up in bed.

Infection: A viral infection of the vestibular nerve, called Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis can cause intense, constant vertigo.

Meniere’s disease: When excessive fluid builds up in the inner ear.

Migraine

Some of the common signs and symptoms of Vertigo are:

Dizziness

Lightheadedness

Unsteadiness (Loss of balance)

Blurred vision

Nausea and vomiting

Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)

Headache

Treatment: Medications are available that can relieve some symptoms. These drugs include antihistamines and anti-emetics to reduce motion sickness and nausea. There are a few exercises involve holding a certain position that can ease the discomfort of vertigo. These exercises are similar to the ones used in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). However, it has been found that certain specific essential oils can provide relief from the symptoms of vertigo:

Peppermint

Ginger

Lemon balm

Lavender

Thyme

Basil

Clary Sage

Frankincense

Rose

These oils are used commonly for the treatment of headaches, motion sickness, nausea and/or vertigo. They help stimulate blood and oxygen flow to the brain, opens up the breathing passage helping to decrease lightheadedness.

How to use essential oils for common vertigo:

To apply, gently massage the forehead and back of neck with two to three drops of the oil of your choice or inhale or oil can be diffused into the air from an aromatherapy diffuser..

If you experience dizziness along with a new extreme headache, high fever, loss of vision, leg or arm weakness, fainting, chest pain or difficulty speaking please seek medical attention immediately.
